Mission and programs · 2024

Mission

The mission of the Bear River Land Conservancy is to preserve the benefits of land and water in Northern Utah and the Bear River Watershed for present and future generations. We do this by partnering with communities and landowners to permanently sustain the heritage of working lands and to protect natural areas.

Activities or mission (Part I)

Our mission is to preserve the benefits of land and water in Northern Utah and the Bear River Watershed for present and future generations. We do this by partnering with communities and landowners to permanently sustain the heritage of working lands and to protect natural areas.

  • "Land Protection" includes: 1) working with private landowners to apply for easement funding to protect private lands that provide public values; 2) applying for funding from various grant programs to protect and steward other private lands; and 3) implementing a strategic conservation plan to guide the organization toward the most important lands for conservation. This year, specific accomplishments included: The advancement of several projects and initiation of a new project. Revenue came from developing a fee for service Baseline Documentation Reports.

    Expenses $144,204 · Revenue $22,700

  • "Stewardship" included 1) managing the 455 acre Bear River Bottoms conservation easement, monitoring this property and adjacent properties for weed infestations, monitoring for compliance with restrictions outlined in the easement document, managing grazing leases used to control weeds and weedy native vegetation, planning for future management; 2) monitoring the 3 acre Lakota conservation easement for compliance with restrictions outlined in the easement document; 3) monitoring the 25.5 acre Schiess conservation easement for compliance with restrictions outlined in the easement document; 4) Monitoring the 1054 acres Evans Ranch Conservation easement for compliance with restrictions outlined in the easement document. 5) Managing and monitoring a 30 acre fee title property that is owned and managed to protect a threatened species of orchid and for its open space values. Revenue came from grazing leases used to manage vegetation and habitat at Bear River Bottoms and Mendon Meadows.

    Expenses $15,421 · Revenue $11,231

  • "Outreach" is primarily education efforts directed at the public and elected officials to increase their understanding of the value of conservation. This year's activities included production and distribution of a newsletters to 1000+ constituents, outreach and education regarding the open space bond and land protection, and engaging volunteers in conservation and monitoring efforts. BRLC also held an open house and supported university student learning opportunities.

    Expenses $11,654

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all.

As filed, from the IRS e-Postcard file of 2 November 2026. The IRS publishes only each organization's most recent postcard, so earlier years are not shown. A 990-N carries no financial detail. The postcard also gives the principal officer's address, which is not shown here.

Grants made

No itemized grants to organizations. Schedule I is filed only by organizations that granted more than $5,000 to a recipient, so most filers have none.

Grants received

The 10 largest by cash amount. The API serves every itemized grant.

Other IRS files

Auto-Revocation List

Not listed. The IRS publishes this list for organizations whose exemption was automatically revoked for failing to file for three consecutive years.

Publication 78

Listed as of 13 October 2026, under deductibility PC.

These are two separate IRS files on two separate schedules, shown as published and not reconciled with each other. Neither is a statement about whether a contribution is deductible today: 19,245 organizations appear in Publication 78 while the IRS's own revocation file lists them as currently revoked, more than half of those revoked before 2019. Absence from Publication 78 is evidence of nothing, and presence is not evidence either. Verify current status with the IRS before relying on it.
